age in the 70\u2019s or 80\u2019s at our reservation in Red Lake. I performed an old-style jingle. It comes from whatever emotions you are feeling that day. Based on how you\u2019re feeling, it\u2019s healing.

I want that again. I want everyone to see that kind of experience for me.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many of these students, this was their first time performing on a stage for an audience, and the impact was lasting. <strong>\u201cThis was my first time performing in front of my peers, but I was so excited that I got to share and spread my culture and healing, especially what we need right now.\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When asked what she learned about herself through the process, one student answered,<strong> \u201cThat I have the courage to actually get out and perform.

She expressed that the students brought so much of themselves into Graham\u2019s original piece, and it was inspiring to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through this experience, we once again see the profound power of the arts \u2013 taking our theater experiences to a new level of student engagement and growth. It invites young people to ask big questions and gives them space to think and dream and answer honestly. The performance is a culminating event, inviting the audience to remember that America is not one story, but many. And growth through the experience will stay with these students long after they\u2019ve stepped off the stage at the Northrop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>This project was a special collaboration between Project Success staff, Martha Graham Dance Company, Minneapolis South High School students, teachers, and administrators, and the Northrop.
